Started moving to the yurt again, for the spring/summer season. Will be nice to live outdoors again, in closer touch with the nature (not like we were living in too modern in the cottage either, but yurt is different). Not sure how weather was elsewhere in the world today, but for me here in CZ it was a first real Spring day. It was warm and sunny, birds were singing, my old buddy white wagtail arrived and appeared on the roof a his favourite spot...I was worried that he might settle somewhere south this year on his way back from Italy, but he apparently loves our place as much as I do.
Checked my new fruit threes and they seem to be doing great. About time to do some gardening work.
Paid for my new flintlock, will pick it up next week.
Received ETS Glock magazine for testing. I don't trust translucent mags much, but as factory mags have gone way up in price recently, I'm looking for some cheaper alternatives, at least for range use. Plus ETS seems to be the only company that makes 30round mags in .40SW caliber.
Starting last two weeks of my rice/meat diet, for now. Will continue later, but I'm about to be at couple events that wouldn't allow me to keep it, so I'm taking a break and will get back to it in second half of May I think. It has taught me to eat less without being hungry and eat more wisely. Also taught me to eat rice in various ways and to keep flavouring stuff around if storing large amounts of rice for long term supplies.
Getting back to forging after the winter pause. Need money, so I'm making knives mainly. It's quick and pays well, plus it's something I'm quite good at. Once I get back to practice, I'm planning to work on some more challenging items.
